Silly guy...who said the girl might not "surpass" them eventually ?

The Race of Life only ends when you die.

It's childish to boast of any so-called achievements

No mind the guy

damiloladuke:
A Nigerian man took to Facebook to give a narration on how a lady who called his dad an evil man while he was selling under the sun at a market in Aba, eventually remained in the same spot she was years back.

The young man said his father was struggling some years back and the woman made fun of him for his situation and even cursed him that he will always remain in the same situation.

Years later, his father's lot in life improved but the woman's situation got worse.


Read his story below.

It's been close to a 4 days my light was disconnected, and like every other day since it was disconnected, I went to charge my phone.

I plugged it and left.

Came back few hours later and collected the phone.

I was heading home and I decided to take a route I took almost 2 years ago.

I don't like using that route but I did.

•••

My Dad once sold female shoes(Aba made shoes.) in that route.

He was selling them under the sun then.

He wasn't allowed by the market workers to put an umbrella to shield him from rain and sun.

He managed.

He left that place 2 years ago, but an incident happened in his stay there.

There was this lady he had an issue with.

She won't be above 25 years of age, but she insulted my Dad like they were mates.

She abused my Dad that day.

She said my Dad was evil and he uses juju and the juju he was using has back fired on him that's why he will remain under the sun selling shoes.

She continued that sun will beat my Dad, even rain will fall on him all the days of his life in that market until he dies.

My Dad wanted to hit her, and I calm him down.

That night my Dad was angry at me.

He was mad.

He refused to talk to me even when we got home.

After I asked him why he was behaving cold towards me, he opened up to me that he was disappointed in me.

How I stood and watch a girl insult him when I could have beaten the living day out of her.

I told him I'm sorry.

I didn't agree, he busted at me.

Called me names.

I went outside to cry.

I was confused.

I'm not a violent person, but I almost lost it that day.

My Dad and I struggled during Christmas season, made some money and he left that market.

Today, I passed through that route only to find that girl inside rain selling tomatoes, pepper and kerosene.

I can't forget her face.

I walked forward.

Stopped her a friend's shop and asked her what happened to the lady behind.

why is she no longer in her shop.

I was told the shop wasn't her own. She was managing it with a woman and the woman died some months back.

She couldn't afford the shop rent anymore and the shop was sold off to another person.

Formally she sells rice, beans, and so many other things.

Now, she is just selling tomatoes, pepper and kerosene.

Rain was showering a little bit and it was falling on her mercilessly.

I was pleased!

I never planned to buy anything from the market, but because I wanted to get back at her, I went to the ATM in the market and withdrew 1k.

I went to her shop and told her to sell kerosene for me.
(I have almost 4 liters of kerosene at home.)

She bent down.

I asked her if she knows me and she nodded her head.

I smiled.

"You know my Dad now has a shop?" I asked.

She didn't reply.

"He no more sells aba made shoes anymore." I continued.

She started hurrying up to sell the kerosene.

"You know, he is no longer in the rain, even sun doesn't come close to his shop."

She filled the kerosene and gave it to me.

I told her to sell tomatoes for me with pepper.

I wasn't done reading her.

She was packaging it, and I continued,

" He doesn't just have a shop, he now has two shops. Isn't that wonderful...."

She became irritated. her cheek bones almost found it's way out of her skin.

"My Dad ehn, the juju he is using is very strong. I'm very grateful." I didn't retract.

She quickly tied everything and handed it over to me.

I chuckled, looked her in her tired eyes, and she diverged.

I sighed.

paid her for what I bought and left.

Walked a distance, turned back and my eyes met with hers. it was filled with dismay.

PS: I need to see my dad and tell him what I saw.

PPS: My Dad would feel sorry for her, and it will make me sick.

PPPS: let me go and cook.

That part that said "I was pleased" has affirmed once more that a lot of Nigerians are sick in the head

how can such thing please anyone

No matter what

THUNDER SCATTER NAIRALAND

HE IS NIGERIAN NOW ABI?

BECOS HE IS ACHIEVING...

WEN IT COMES TO DRUGZ NOW, U WILL CALL THEM IPOB, BIAFRANS AND IGBO.

BASTARD HYPOCRITES


WHERE ARE THE ASSOCIATION OF NAME CHECKERS?

UNA DONE RETIRE, ABI NA RUN UNA RUN?

GOOD THING THEY HUNGRY UNA?

shameful
hypocrites everywhere

Jethrolite:
You and your dirty rodents are fools.

If it was your dad, will you be advertising those rabid rodents too?

Nigeria's problem is not corruption, corruption is just a symptom of lack of empathy.

The average Nigerian has been demoralised into a mindless beast.

I'm telling you!

Most Nigerians out there is an animal in human skin.

no empathy whatsoever

gabbijason:
Nigerians are good people, we surely do not deserve the kind of leaders that we have in this country. Whats is happening in Nigeria at the moment is such a shame! All these lamentations will not help anyone.

Get your PVC..



Meanwhile 'Lady Aiban' is Nigeria's finest female Christian Rapper

Nigerians deserve the leaders they get.


They voted sai baba

IJEYdiamond:
Wrong!!!.. do your research... funny enough people like u use Facebook and its produces nothing u say.. well if Dangote looses that amount. Can he recover... Information age and Digital era are the ones ruling the world.. not the Industrial age.. that is why Dangote can not be richer than CEO of Facebook.. Take it or leave it.

no mind that guy

ADEMOLA144:
offering services is not tangible. thats why they tanked. if your services are no longer needed you are finished case in point MYSPACE. however dangote produces things people need. cement and sugar and oil refineries etc. this is why dangote can never lose 17 billion in 2 days. because its tangible stuff. hope you are learning

:-3

A massive drop can Happen to any company whether it sells goods or offers services


go and look at forte oil
from 340 + to 27 naira

is it not fuel they are selling?

what of Ford motors during the recession?

black berry makes phones which is tangible, yet their stock fell massively

Butterflyle0:
And what is the road map? Show me.

Is it the same Atiku who, between 1999—2003, while Obasanjo globe-trotted and gallivanted, Atiku was the de-facto President and made himself stupendously rich?


Is it the same Atiku who ensured His children became directors of oil-servicing companies and forgot about people like you?

Is it the same Atiku who was the custodian of the machinery for national development in the first years of this government and did absolutely nothing with it except enriching himself?


Is it the same Atiku who handled all the Federal Government dealings in the 36 states of the federation, including FCT Abuja, and chaired all the economic projects of the country, and appointed 7 out of 10 ministers yet failed woefully?

Is it the same Atiku who was the chairman for the transformation of the socio-economic landscape of Nigeria and failed to link the 36 states of the federation in terms of good roads, electricity, security of life and property, job creation etc?

Is it the same Atiku who stabbed Obasanjo in the back that made Obasanjo unable to forgive him till date despite Atiku sneaking into Abeokuta to beg Obasanjo and still got rejected?

Is it the same Atiku who his AC compatriots abandoned after he destroyed AC and forced tinubu to rebrand it to ACN?

Is it the same Atiku who crept back to the PDP after yaradua died only to walk out on PDP in 2013 and switch to APC which he described with his own mouth as his last and final bus stop yet when APC failed to satisfy his presidential lust he quickly jumped back to PDP?

Your Atiku is as fraudulent and deceptive as can be. His words or promises are not worth the cost of a tissue paper.

His personal satisfaction and greed is all he is after.

I follow politics and I know. I am sure the info I just gave you is new to you.

as much as athiefu has a shady past, he better pass Buhari 100 x


Buhari is a certified FAILURE

Sending him home is the most patriotic thing any Nigerian can do

ADEMOLA144:
and what tangible goods do they produce ? and if they produced tangible goods they will not lose 17 billion in 2 hours. go and sit down and learn how the global economics game work

Oga listen and learn


You make money either from sale of goods or offering services


Facebook offers services and have made Massive profits over the years, which a good fraction of it was kept in their reserves, while the other was paid out as dividend

I have not seen the books of Facebook but I'm sure that the accumulated reserves alone is at least $30b

Google and Apple each have reserves of at least $60billion

That is factored into the valuation of a company


What Zuckerberg and Other shareholders lost is a part of the share premium on the shares owned

The nominal share capital and the accumulated reserves are still there

My point is thinking that their assets can just be wiped out just like that because they don't offer tangible goods is ludicrous

it's the information age

deepwater:
You lack the appropriate exposure bro, I repeat you do!

the person you quoted is right


no single person or even family in Nigeria plus politicians is richer than dangote


They may be more liquid; but in net worth, they are not even close


The only folks that may be close to dangote is the former beads of states (IBB OBJ GEJ dem)


A part from them, no politician in Nigeria can boast of $5b in assets.

Take that from me

Even if you wan abscond, why not abscond after the show
why Nigerians dey behave like this?

ADEMOLA144:
It wasnt a fortune to begin with. they produce nothing. all they have is a website that connects the world. all these peoples fortunes are imagined and not real. its based on speculative net worth based on stock value. meaning you can be a billionaire today and broke tomorrow if your stocks tank. so its imagined money not real money

who tokd you Facebook Inc produces nothing?

They offer services that the wirjs sorely needs, and the cash reserves on their balance sheet alone will put the external reserves of many countries to shame


That cash reserves form a part of the net worth too


A good knowledge of accounting will help us here

Lordofthewest:
Side effects of investing in technology anything could go wrong at any time..Dangote on the other hand makes his money from cement and household cooking items

You got that right

That's why I prefer buying his stock

afroniger:
Na wah for that kind of 'wealth' that can disappear in the twinkling of an eye. Meaning the guy can even go broke overnight by losing his entire networth the same way sef. That ain't real wealth to me jorr. It is only 'on paper' type of wealth.

what he lost was a part of the premium on the share a he owns in Facebook

But it's not possible to lose ALL the wealth just like that tho, except he goes accumulating more debt than the value of the Facebook Inc.

Nightmareo07:
That's a FAT LIE from pit of hell.
Ur afonja propaganda don't work anymore.
U bet u u haven't among diverse than myself.
U Yoruba people are know not to travel outside ur region for fear of facing challenges.
So dont give me that lie of "living among diverse"

I have live many years in north and southwest and I can tell I have seen many cases where a Yoruba marriage beats wife up for not having a male child.

But the whole thing lies on how and individual handles the situation.
My uncle has 5 gals no male and he didnt neva disturbing d the wife for a day.

And u saying igbos dont give female share Another afonja lie.

My grandfather died having Landed properties in Kano . And it was sold and shared among all children including married females.
But the only difference is the males got lager share.

So my dear snap out from ur afonjaric old lies.

And this guy accuses me of being Yoruba


I know your ilk

Whether you like it or not, you know the truth but refuse to say it


I have seen enough of this happen both within my extended family and even the folks we left behind in the village.

Igbo women are more desperate to have make kids than Yoruba women

This is not to say that it's not done elsewhere, but it's the WORST in Igbo land


I will not lie on this because I'm Igbo


if it's matter of having multiple kids and hiding it from the wife, I know this is more common with Yoruba folk But the craze for male kids? Igbos carry the trophy there

Pavore9:
That is the grim reality, they expect obiano and Peter Obi that both only have two children each to contribute taking care of their 9 children.

No mind them


Anu ofia di ka ha

Nightmareo07:
U are talking rubbish.
A male Chile prefrence is a general thing for African mentality.
U can't tag to a particular tribe that sounds unintelligent.

We read news here last month of a divorce case of Yoruba couple.
Where the woman claims her husband Denies her sex because she always give birth to a female Child

That's not true


In Ghana it does not matter(especially Ashanti and takoradi people) It matters less in Ivory coast too


And it's the worst amongst Igbo people

I have seen it, and I have lived amongst diverse groups
You also know it, but you will not admit.

In the 21sr century, a lot id Igbo men still see female kids as less, and will not give them a share in inheritance

Which you will not see in Yoruba land because women get theur share.

foolbuster:
What most single mums don't get is that In there quest to hurt, punish or seek revenge against the spouse for whatever reason right or wrong they tend to use or influence the child. But They forget the child is an individual oblivious to whatever issue you guys had before he/she was Born or still a baby and naturally once they come of age there is always that impulse to seek and want to have a r/ship with the biological parent. And if you have an intelligent kid they will know you are being selfish and wanna use them and it will come back to bite you.

a lot of women are just short sighted and act on impulse.

Always using kids to get even at their partners


Well that may not be Iyabo's case, but I have seen it time and time again

sisisioge:
...he's now appealing to governor after he refused to use family planning. Four girls aren't children ba?

May God bless your family.

don't mind the foolish man and foolish wife

Pavore9:
In search of a male child after the 2 earlier ones died, they ended up getting 4 sons and a daughter......9 children in all.

Was it lack that led to the death of the two boys? Procreating should be tied to level of means of sustenance to avoid the repetition.

it's one thing I hate about my people tho


the craze for male children


Igbo folks ard


now where is the money to take care of them

if they don't die of hunger

they will grow to be vagabonds

Chibuking81:
Nigeria from political point of view is out of recession.
But its now the really recession started. The level of poverty, atrocities and hunger during the recession is little to compared with this days happening.

1. Has workers salaries increased, NO.
2. Has citizens standard of living improved, NO.

Is true that country income from sales of our natural resources has increase, but our corrupt politians embezzle the money, only to dump it abroad.

Every month FAAC ( federal account allocation committee) meet to share money between the three tiers of government, (federal, state and LG)

But has it change anything, NO. Some state owes the workers months of unpaid salary, some people business are folding down. Societal vices are on the increase.

Politians those at both executive and legislative arms of government has push our country into the main recession.

You are right

Nigerian leaders are wicked

too much suffering in the land

Cadillac15:
You think NSEMPA can move a stock like zenith that trades N1.5B in some days?
Who get that money here?

that's true sha I just wanted you to clarify.

But N 1.5b in a day is a huge volume mehn

Cadillac15:
Reading through that proshare content above, i was just thinking of one 'oga' who never contributes his analysis here until he is done buying.

If we are brothers and sisters in the lord, like its always quoted here; then the aim should be to educate the less educated ones instead of defrauding them.

If you have an analysis to share, share it. If you dont want to share it, keep it to yourself please.

Dont come and say there is a stock capable of doing 1000% in 2days, then you keep the gullible ones guessing while you load up and then you give fake clues to tease them and prolong the suspense.

And after making sure you have got them were you want them, you announce your Bait and then there is a scramble to position in the stock which sends the price to the moon, while you offload on them and move on as if nothing happened.

Then you come and tell us how you chopped and clean mouth on so and so stock

I have seen it play out here time and again. Funny enough, they will never try if with the large cap, liquid volume stock simply because the plan will fail as this forum cant move such stocks.

They will always go for the small cap kobokobo stocks with serious illiquidity so that the scramble can get them 100-200% profit at a go once NSEMPA visitors rush the stock.

It is fraudulent and if you indulge in such practice, you are simply a FRAUD and have nothing to offer.

what do you mean by "this forum cannot move such stocks?"

stcool:
GTB 18? Zenith 13? Better to go and play BABA IJEBU. That election is coming does not mean banks wont make profit, elections would come and go. In 2015 how much did this stocks loose 12 months before the election. Forte is down and we know why. Some things wont happen unless it shows up in the balance sheet, until then...Hope is an enemy in investing!

why is forte oil sinking like this?

Please tell me

If he keeps posting his business and whole life on social media, then his life and business is every body's business.

But true


You posted something ON YOUR OWN PAGE


That does not give an idiot mad Nigerian the right to talk rubbish on your page, on what you posted


A lot of folks in Nigeria are not emotionally intelligent enough to own smartphones

that's just the truth

Homeboiy:
truth is bitter

which kind truth

PIPnator:
Tells a lot you dont know how these things work.
Do a lot more reading.

"When Nigeria wants to pay a foreign body for a service or whatever,
The CBN only sends email through the accepted channel to Americas Fed reserve
and the Americas Fed reserve which houses most of our foreign reserve credits the foreign body."

I bet you think Nigeria will carry physical cash to make such payment.
In same cases yes but only of few cases like the time Nigeria wanted to buy arms from one Eastern European country,
the physical cash was intercepted in South Africa.

DrAmazing:
Looting was halted in 2015?! Hahahaha

I thought I was the only one that found that funny

idu1:
Many youths no get single sense for this country. Unfortunately some of them will happen to be a governor of their state one day.

These modafuvkas are the one that blame buhari for everything even their marital problems.

Buhari government inherited a zero naira economy from the drunken south south president. He blocked all loop holes where money are been shared upandan to give us a promising economy. How is he the cause your woes?


Well, few of us that knows this ll still vote for him to continue his goof work.

look at this guy

Buhari inherited a zero economy my black arse.

PIPnator:
As much as there is bad leadership in this country..
Majority of there problems started when they asked foreign countries to return there gold deposits.
Meanwhile the foreign countries have sold most of there gold.
What did the foreign countries do, they decides to frustrate, sabotage and cripple there economy.
Its no news. Its out there.

Shebi Nigerias foreign reserve is with foreign country and its standing at over $40 billion dollar.
Wait until the day Nigeria asks for that money to be returned or majority of it transferred to other countries like China.
Part of Jonathans fall out with these foreign countries was, we wanted some of Nigeria foreign reserve to be denominated in Chinese Yuan.

what you wrote made no sense

our reserves are at the central bank not with a foreign country

theoldpretender:
Yeah, I just hope Ramaphosa does.not carry out his land expropriation plans.

Yes, whites have stolen most of the land, but the same white farmers earn lots of forex for the nation. And there aren't enough qualified black farmers to replace them(and I say this with sadness, and as a Pan Africanist)

I'll say this without sentiment

The law of nature says that land you conquer becomes yours


The whites conquered that land, thus it's their own; and they are making good use of it too

South Africa will go the way of Zimbabwe if they implement such a policy


There should be however some form of reforms sha

But not taking land by force.

You can foist black partners into these farms, or even force the farms to incorporate and then list theur shares on the JSE

then black folks can buy as much stake as they can buy.
Tbats another option (the whites fatm owners could still be majority share holder or not depending.

Or they could hold between 30 to 40% stake while extra capital from the shares bought make up the rest


It will be win win for both parties


Unfortunately black men don't have sense in general, and are not emotionally intelligent

But anyways, nothing concern me.
